China is one of the countries where desertification has had the greatest impact. One-quarter of its area is already affected, and the desert is expanding by over 2,500 square kilometres per year. Longbaoshan is located in Hebei Province, just 38 kilometres northwest of the Beijing suburbs. It’s a village of sand.
